This album was such a joy to make. From those first conversations between @tom_elwin and @lanabode back in 2020, to the recording sessions guided by @ingenalexander, and then the creation of the art work in collaboration with @clareparkphoto, and @sezmond, and a wonderful essay from @lucybeewalker, and of course the support of @voces8foundation to release it to the world.

Grammy voting friends and colleagues, thank you for listening and for your consideration.

A very happy Lunar New Year to Chen Yi, a composer whose music I was delighted to come across when I returned to solo piano playing a few years ago. Dr Chen wrote this incredible set of variations during her first year at college in 1979. The theme is based on the Chinese folk song “Awariguli”, the name of a beautiful girl from the Uygur ethnic minority in Xinjiang. The music offers a flavourful fusion of Western and Chinese traditions, described by Dr Chen as “sometimes lyrical and transparent, sometimes powerful and dramatic.”

Jan Capinski and I had a great time recording this at the Milton Court Concert Hall a couple months ago.

Head over to my YouTube channel to hear the full piece (I’ll link to it in my Stories)

Today at Little Missenden Festival @ltmissendenfest, Emma-Ruth Richards' new song cycle 'Still I Think Alive' receives its premiere performance, performed by @jenniferfrancesoprano and pianist @lanabode. Supported by the RPS Thea Musgrave Fund and written for Jennifer, the five songs with texts by poet @kate_wakeling explore modern motherhood in many of its contradictions, moving ‘between moments of wonder, exhaustion, joy, overwhelm and absurdity’.

You can also hear the new piece tomorrow, 3 October at @folkestonenewmusic, and on Thursday 19 November at @haymusicevents!

The RPS Thea Musgrave Fund champions composers and performers dedicated to contemporary music. RPS Thea Musgrave Composition Grants support composers and performers to devote focused collaboration, workshop, and rehearsal time to the creation of new music together.

Emma-Ruth says: ‘Having this ongoing dialogue – working collaboratively with Jen and Kate – has been utterly invaluable. It has not only strengthened the integrity of the work, but has also brought a real sense of companionship to what can otherwise be a very solitary process.’

We are grateful to composer Thea Musgrave and and her husband, the conductor Peter Mark, whose support makes these grants possible. Composer Emma-Ruth Richards and soprano Jennifer France by @lanabode

Can you hear the water in the music?

What would happen if the water itself began to add its own voice to this piece? If the sound of real water, of the river Thames, entered into dialogue with our human imagination of it?

Come and find out with us.
3 September, 6:30 pm
Tickets are limited — reserve your spot now. ✨
